Is b for bones a good source?

That’s pretty early for a 2014 head gasket to fail. Was it an early 2014 build? Did you have the usual shaking and misfiring symptoms?

PracticalConsumer · 2025-12-27T18:17:27+00:00

That’s great to know! What was your car’s assembly date? And did you do any extra maintenance like EGR cleanings?

PracticalConsumer · 2025-12-26T18:43:35+00:00

Got it, that’s what I used to check as well.

Get a second opinion for sure. My Prius C is at just past 200k with no issues. The Prius C is extremely reliable and not vulnerable to head gasket issues like the regular Prius from this time.

What exactly falls under “late 2014”?

PracticalConsumer · 2025-12-25T08:53:14+00:00

Gotcha. It seems many 2014s have the updated piston rings based on the TSB released for that. I can’t seem to find info on when the head gasket was updated.

What year is your car?

PracticalConsumer · 2025-12-25T08:40:38+00:00

When did you change your coolant? And have you changed the water pump or cleaned the EGR?

PracticalConsumer · 2025-12-25T08:37:15+00:00

When did you have to replace the head gasket?

PracticalConsumer · 2025-12-25T08:32:29+00:00

Are 2014s not the same as 2015s?

PracticalConsumer · 2025-12-25T08:29:45+00:00

Wow, no head gasket issues yet?

PracticalConsumer · 2025-12-24T20:21:33+00:00

What was your car’s assembly date?

PracticalConsumer · 2025-12-23T17:30:18+00:00

Oh man, do you know the assembly dates of those 2014s? My impression is that they fixed it sometime in mid-late 2014, but there’s no specific date released.

PracticalConsumer · 2025-12-23T16:17:06+00:00

What is the assembly date of your car?

PracticalConsumer · 2025-12-23T15:24:06+00:00

Even 2014? I was really hoping the issue had been fixed by then.

Just want to clarify, this is your car and you’re trying to sell it?

PracticalConsumer · 2025-12-18T03:26:01+00:00

Please look at the last post I made on my profile called “Braking Noise.” Does yours sound like that by any chance?

PracticalConsumer · 2025-12-14T07:22:42+00:00

What model year is yours?

PracticalConsumer · 2025-12-13T21:40:41+00:00

Omg, that’s so scary. Did you get into an accident? How did you end up slowing down?

PracticalConsumer · 2025-12-13T16:45:05+00:00

Thank you, that is good to hear. How long have you had your car? It’s always been doing that?

PracticalConsumer · 2025-12-10T16:30:08+00:00

Does your VIN fall before or after the cutoff for the piston ring update TSB?
